I went with the flow of my post, but I'm afraid it might not be the best solution. Ho well, here goes nothing. (I reckon the nanites will work. It takes a while to die from exsanguination, and from the place the shrapnel hit, its the nanites or nothing)

Ah, how I have come to love that sense of accomplishment and victory that I get when I pull the wool over the eyes of a clever player character. What DM Triumphs have you had?

Some of mine:1. Finally killing an incredibly powerful, lucky, annoying player's character.2. Finally achieving a TPK (Total Party Kill)3. Finally achieving a TPK using only traps4. Finally working out how to make it so that d**n wizard doesn't steal the spotlight all the d**n time.

dark_dragon: Your attack was a special success and would have killed the mutant, even let you survive. valadaar: Your fourth attack was a critical success (a natural 04), and just what you needed to detonate the ammo. If not for the explosion you and Kiph would surely have survived, though Brevil would probably have died.

Well, I'm going to have to make a combat optimised mercenary with no sense of duty (make that no emotions), and especially, (And that last one is important) no crazy mutant gattling-gun-wielding ex-girlfriends.

Know this:1. Bleak Wood is bleak. It is a post apocalyptic horror-action roleplaying game, and not anything like high fantasy. Yes, you will be killing stuff, but only the cunning of the player separates him from certain death. You will not be protected by high levels, vast amounts of magic items and an immense pool of hit points.

Hehe. She loved you and would have turned you into a nice little minion. Perhaps your friends too. Awww... I like mutant ex-girlfriends.

But, and this is important, you guys did EXCELLENT killing it off. Your ideas were great.

I award all survivors with 20 extra points to distribute, no more than 5 in one place.

I am impressed. Actually thought you would beg for mercy or run away. Or that Riv would shoot her in the face.

As for you DARK_DRAGON:another killer without emotions, eh? Well, your social skills seem to be plummeting by the minute. Lets hope you won't enter a technological enclave then

Hm. As for the one-good-hit-death part. It may be less suited for a forum game. In a tabletop game with this system, you can react quicker, discuss with your fellows, etc. etc.In a forum game on which you spend weeks to get to -something- and then get knocked out and/or die... well, that sucks a bit. In a tabletop game where you play two hours, die then... well, that's a different matter.

I guess I won't play this anymore.

Just to avoid instant death, here is a bit of metainfo:dark_dragon, you are the cause of the sound Riv hears behind the car in the darkness. You have already identified a corpse and two living humans in the wrecked car.
